Juvenile trumpeter, Wrangell St. Elias National Park, Alaska.

Here’s one of the young trumpeter swans I shot the other day on the ice in Wrangell – St. Elias National Park. There were 2 adults and 2 youngsters in tow, last years young, I imagine. As the waters open up the adults will nest and hopefully raise some more cygnets this year. This yearling was trying to get a drink of water from the meltwater of top of the ice.
